    摘要: Interferon regulatory factor-1 (IRF-1) is implicated in the regulation of type I interferons (IFN) and cell growth. The invention is a mutant mouse lacking expression of the IRF-1 gene. Mice lacking IRF-1 did not differ from normal mice in size, behaviour, or reproductive ability. With fibroblasts derived from these mutant mice, it was shown that type I IFN induction is dramatically reduced when cells are induced by poly(I):poly(C). In contrast, no differences were found when cells are induced by New Castle Disease Virus (NDV), or induced by poly(I):poly(C) with prior treatment of IFN-.beta.. On the other hand, the induction levels of IFN-inducible genes such as MHC class I and 2'-5' oligoadenylate synthetase (2'5'OAS) were not affected. Collectively, these results illustrate an IRF-1 independent mechanism of gene induction for type I IFN and these IFN-inducible genes. The critical role of IRF-1 in the immune system has been documented for the first time by the observation that the number of TcR.alpha..beta..sup.+ CD4.sup.- CD8.sup.+ T cells were dramatically reduced in IRF-1 deficient mice. This phenotype may be ascribed to a thymocyte developmental defect between the double positive and single positive stages during CD8.sup.+ T cell ontogeny.

    摘要: Provided are an inhibitor of activation of an immune response mediated by an HMGB protein, the inhibitor containing at least one compound selected from the group consisting of a phosphorothioate oligonucleotide and a derivative thereof, and a method of screening for an inhibitor or enhancer of activation of an immune response mediated by an HMGB protein, the method including a mixing step of mixing an HMGB protein and a labeled nucleic acid in the presence and absence of a test substance; a quantifying step of quantifying the HMGB protein bound to the labeled nucleic acid; and a determination step of determining that the test substance is an inhibitor of activation of an immune response mediated by the HMGB protein when the amount of the HMGB protein bound to the labeled nucleic acid in the presence of the test substance is less than the amount of the HMGB protein bound to the labeled nucleic acid in the absence of the test substance and determining that the test substance is an enhancer of activation of an immune response mediated by the HMGB protein when the amount of the HMGB protein bound to the labeled nucleic acid in the presence of the test substance is higher than the amount of the HMGB protein bound to the labeled nucleic acid in the absence of the test substance.
